Noah Lewis, author of the popular "Why Honey is Not Vegan" site, is
fundraising for a project to overhaul that web site. It hasn't been
updated in 7 years and Noah is devoting the next 3 months to researching
and writing full time for this important site.

I just pledged some money for the effort and ask you to consider doing
the same to keep this valuable, freely available resource up-to-date for
all of us who wish to understand how veganism relates to bees.

I highly recommend following the link below to the interview with Noah,
which provides a more in depth conversation about the importance of this
project.

"If we want to be allies to animals, we have to overcome our
internalized speciesism. We have to de-program the false messages we
have been taught about other animals. We have to educate ourselves and
surround ourselves with positive, non-speciesist ideas and images of
other animals. For me, learning about honey bees was an important aspect
of increasing my respect for them. If all we know about bees is the
stereotypical image that 'they make honey for us,' it's easy to dismiss
them." - Noah Lewis
